David Beckham Gets Gold-Plated iPod for 100th Game
When you really want to let someone know you care, what's the gift that says it all? How about an iPod? How about a personally inscribed iPod? How about a gold-plated, personally inscribed iPod?
That's what English soccer great and current Los Angeles Galaxy player David Beckham received from his mates on the English national soccer team after participating in his 100th game with the club following a friendly match with the blokes from the French national team in Paris.
It's a mark of honor, really, to do a hundred of anything, and the gadget hounds at Switched applaud the squad from England for pooling together to get the 32-year-old Beckham this special iPod Touch, valued at 600 British pounds, which comes out to about $1,196 in U.S. hard currency.

well BFD..does your son's ipod worth 600 Pounds? does it consist of 32GB?? and for your info, if your son's ipod is well advanced than Becks', it's not Goldenballs who behind times but rather it is his friends coz they are the ones who bought it for him, not him personally! that said..don't be so jealous that your son doesn't play or do anything big, nationally or internationally, for 100th time. ;p
